Well, they keep it more like 150. As in 150 episodes? I thought I’d catch up with old friends to discuss a myriad variety of topics, like being empty nesters. Cross country dating. What it’s like to be in the upcoming movie Durango Seems Like A Great Place To Die., and so much more.
Susan and John are two of the best people when it comes to learning from them and having them as your best cheerleaders. Their positivity knows no bounds. Even when the subject matter is bleak. To recommit in doing the hard things in life is Susan’s mantra. We could all learn something from her. John is also a risk taker who is not afraid to say yes to life.
I hope you enjoy this episode. I certainly did.
This episode, like all episodes of If This Is True, brings forth what drives creatives to do what they do. For more of this content and interaction, you can also go to my substack, coolmite25.substack.com.

Russell Van Brocklen Tackles Dyslexia Through Proven Research!!
Russell Van Brocklen is a New York State Senate-funded dyslexia researcher and the founder of DyslexiaClasses.com. His work focuses on helping struggling learners build reading and writing skills by beginning with their strongest abilities rather than repeatedly drilling their weakest ones. His inaugural program moved college-bound students from a middle-school writing level to the average range of entering graduate students on the GRE Analytical Writing Assessment in one school year, for less than $900 per student. Every participant later graduated from college with a GPA between 2.5 and 3.6, without accommodations. Russell now works to give parents and educators a practical path from confusion and guesswork to measurable academic progress.
This one means a lot to me. Don't miss it!
